The Auction Guild Notes for Sunday 17 Oct 1999
************************************************************
eBay US- Nothing new on eBay since TAGnotes Vol 1 Number 31
Received the first response from eBay legal on request for
“expressed permission”. Sent them further clarification of
our questions and request.

There are some issues developing around eBays use of outside agencies
to send messages to eBay users, even if those users have specifically
opted to NOT receive any of this type of email via their preference
settings on eBay. Since sending SPAM is an eBay violation, and sharing
user information violates their privacy policy, this might raise some
very serious legal issues. We are investigating further, and are
awaiting a response from eBay.

Skippy is going to tell Halloween tales in the eBay Cafe Thursday
nights Oct. 21, and 28 at 8pm PST.
